The Manchester City players seem to have dropped the Premier League trophy over a balcony and onto the pavement below.
The team have been parading it around the city after again being crowned Premier League champions.

Fans came out to greet the team, who enjoyed a jovial afternoon with them.
However it appears that, after the party returned back to base, someone has dropped the cup.
Manchester City have confirmed to @SkySportsNews that this video is not what it seems. This is taken from a City TV prank sketch, no one has smashed the trophy on their trophy parade today. Stand down. https://t.co/5DEdt8vakV

Part of an apparent prank by the club’s media arm, it can be seen lying in a sorry state on the ground.
The squad members seen in the clips being widely shared on social media all look pretty guilty, with some mentioning that Sergio Agüero looks especially so.
